The Apostrophe Protection Society was started in 2001 by John Richards, now its Chairman,
with the specific aim of preserving the correct use of this currently much abused
punctuation mark in all forms of text written in the English language.

We are aware of the way the English language is evolving during use, and do not intend
any direct criticism of those who have made mistakes, but are just reminding all
writers of English text, whether on notices or in documents of any type, of the correct
usage of the apostrophe should you wish to put right mistakes you may have inadvertently
made.
